Abstract/Summary:
series of blends consisting of polylactic acid (PLA) and aliphatic succinate polyester (BionolleRTM ;Studies have also been performed to determine the amount and rate of aerobic biodegradation of PLA/aliphatic succinate polyester blends in biologically active composting, enzymatic, and soil environments. The changes in molecular weight, molecular structure and thermal properties in the composting environment were also studied by GPC, NMR and DSC analyses. The research results showed BionolleRTM ;The melt flow behavior of PLA/BionolleRTM ;A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to investigate the morphological structure of the PLA/BionolleRTM ;The results show that BionolleRTM...
